Resumo
The antiarthritic effect of a hydroalcohol extract of Pterodon pubescens (HEPp) seeds was tested using collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) in DBA1/J mice treated with daily oral doses of HEPp in different schedules. The preventive treatment significantly reduced both the arthritic index (AI) and the CIA incidence. Using a therapeutic protocol, only the lower dose of HEPp induced a decrease in both parameters. These results provide a scientific foundation for the popular use of Pp seed infusions in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treatment.
